I'm new to turning and just bought a Jet 1015VS mini-lathe. Am considering the purchase of a Nova G3 chuck. Will it fit the lathe as is or do I need to purchase the threaded insert/adapter? Your help is much appreciated.

You will need an adapter to fit 1" x 8 tpi (threads per inch) for your spindle.
Suggest you get an adapter with a set screw so you can lock it on the spindle That basically applies if your 1015 is reversible (I can't remember).
G3 is a great chuck for the lathe you have.

The word 'listen' contains the same letters as the word 'silent. Is that like <<<<<ZIP IT<<<<<<

...on which G3 you buy. They come in different sizes that are fit different lathes. That is the same lathe/chuck combo I had for a while. Just make sure of your lathe headstock thread size before you order the chuck..
